I was at the park one day.....

[quote name='BhartMan']we used to have a couple of blokes come into the Whanga gym over summer - always had track pants on, and only ever worked out their upper bodies. Used to give the locals, and regulars, a chuckle...[/quote]<br />
<br />
Chicks dig the guns and the pecs after all ( mind you I don't do nearly as much lower body stuff as I should but am naturally chunkier there than upper body )<br />
<br />
Charles Bronson is a good example of a dude with a really powerful UB but comparitively skinny LB. Genetics do play a big part though, I'm sure Tialata would have calves the size of rugby balls with or without weight training. -
I have always had big legs / calves, and unlkike most, LOVE doing leg workouts, so lucky there - my PT says that is most weird - most blokes like the upper body shit - the [i]beach muscles[/i]! I like those too, but a good leg workout and you know all about it, and usually for a few days afterwords too if you do it right!!!
-
It always cracks me these guys that a huge upper bodies and twig legs. While genetics do play a part, but they continually work the bench press, peck deck etc to get so unproportional its not funny.<br />
<br />
In alternate weeks I like supersetting with an UB set and a LB set, without rest in between. That sort of training has helped me lose inches and really stuffs me which is great -
Doesn't matter how much I work my legs they'll always be twigs. I can usually add size to the upper thighs but below is just embarrassing. It's actually pretty gutting. I can still do as heavy a leg weights as other guys but I just can't gain any size. I don't do much legs at all now a days. Just concentrating on the running and cycling. Doing leg weights means I wouldn't be able to run or cycle for 2-3 days afterwards.<br />

The guy in the you tube clip is amazing. As ACT pointed out, his forearm strength is huge! -

Some of the things he is doing is mind boggling ...<br />
<br />
I just got a sweat up watching ...[/quote]<br />
<br />
Bruce Lee had huge forearm strength and size for a comparitively little guy. I'd imagine he could piss through a workout similar to this one.....<br />
<br />
But this guy whoever he is is farkin impressive isn't he ? for guys hovering near 100kg stuff like that is damn near impossible i'd imagine..... -
following on from that, here's a great workout that I would absolutely not be able to do-but I might take parts of it. They call it a 300 workout. Whatever, it's killer.<br />
Apologies for the overt US Army bits within the video.<br />

That's awesome stuff. I've done another "300" workout which is a bit different to that one.<br />
<br />
I've never see sit up presses before, and those bent over rows into shrugs x 50 would be a real killer after all the rest of the stuff.
